While the world is witnessing a terrible financial crunch, Dubai remains calm and unaffected by this crisis. Their vivid taste for exotic high rise constructions fuels their desire for more of the kind. Meeras Construction is one such company which has visions of making Dubai a very Hi-Tech city. It has recently roped in two architects, Adrian Smith and Gordon Gill to work on four projects, approximating $15 billion. The projects are 1 Dubai, Park Avenue, Park Gate and Meeras Tower.

Part of the Jumeirah Gardens Master Plan - an ongoing construction that is scheduled to be completed in 12 years, the central attraction is 1 Dubai Park. At 2,000ft it is estimated to be the tallest and the largest building in the world. Secondly, there’s 1 Park Avenue, a 116 storey building housing premium offices, condominiums, houses and service apartments apart from the world’s tallest luxury hotel. Third and last in the series is the Park Gate which will consist of six towers connected together by high technology canopied pathways.

All three projects are designed to the highest environmental standards. It looks good on paper, but I want to see them live first and see how sustainable they are. Meanwhile enjoy the astonishing architecture.
